Waste and Impacts

Environmental Impacts

Vessel will be transiting through wildlife habitats and passengers and crew will be landing ashore in areas where wildlife may be present. This activity could be indirectly disruptive to certain species. Direct contact and interaction with wildlife will be avoided. All activities the vessel, passengers, and crew engage in will be environmentally conscious and intended for the purpose of sightseeing only. No manmade structures or materials will be left in wildlife areas. Crew members who are trained and certified naturalists will provide safety guidance and information on the environment to the passengers and other crew. The information provided is specfic to each location and is made in an effort to afford protection and conservation by minimizing any potential damage or disruption that could occur. Vessel employs the latest environmental practices and technology which conform to the Clean ship standard (meets or exceeds all IMO, EPA and IATO operating standards).
